my neighbors that recently moved in have two young kids that they let run around the middle of the streets of the neighborhood on this bikes. and now they have stupid signs posted EVERYWHERE saying "SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY" even though the speed limit is 20. was going 15 a couple weeks ago and they called the police on me for "going to fast" and the police officer was even laughing.

da fuck. ???

Are they real signs or just makeshift?

they look like they bought them. cops can't legally put those there, there's a speed limit and people should NOT be letting their kids play in the streets.

Oh I thought they made the city put signs up.

hahaha our old neighbors wanted to petition the town to put in speed bumps along our road because they were afraid of cars hitting their kids, even though it's not busy

obviously it never happened because our other neighbors all realized how retarded and pointless it would have been, pissing off everybody who would drive by

especially considering you can, you know, just not teach your kids to play out in the middle of the road

Our stupid Californian neighbors have their kids play in the street. Now, the street isn't overly busy, and when me and my brother were kids, we DID play in the street, but definitely not as frequent as these kids, and we definitely weren't as oblivious to cars as they were. They put goddamn ramps in the road wtf.

I was driving home from school one day, and one of the retarded kids jumps out in the street riding a skateboard and I had to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting them. Their dad was in garage and looked at me like I tried to murder them. Also, they like to let their dog bark constantly.

Since they are vegetarian, we always like to BBQ on days when the wind blows towards their house.

I never learned this, I still play in the middle of the road, I even encourage my sister to play there too.

Just gotta teach kids to hear cars, thats all.

yeah i guess if you're walrus and have a 17 million dollar house with a 69 acre yard you dont need to play in the street but its where most kids traditionally do play

My brother and I would bike race to the manhole and back (about 300 feet) but I don't recall us playing games in the street like tag or anything. We live right next to a park and played there instead.

Me and my friends used to build ramps on the road and play hockey and all kinds of shit. Only at my grandma's house though, because she lived back off the main roads in this little suburb type thing. Everywhere else has like a 45 mph speed limit so we weren't allowed to play in the roads there. I need to show you guys my school district on google maps so you can get a feel for how rural the area I live in is
